Vidya Balan: 'Widely Spread' Actress | 2008-07-02
It's not her age she should be hiding... it's her clothes.
Filmfare has put Vidya Balan on their cover this month, and all we have to say is ‘what were they thinking‘?
What has she done to merit a cover?
She neither has the looks, nor the ‘buy this magazine now‘ Bod!
And her sense of dressing? Well, don‘t even get us started.
Actually let‘s get started. She attended the Filmfare launch of the issue in an outfit that really displayed her faux pas very clearly. She was wearing some dark blue tunic over, get this, rolled up jeans - the tackiest trend ever.
Vidya, did the party you go for have a ‘Mumbai flood‘ theme?
The shoes were fine, but the hand piece was gaudy to say the least. Her finger nails were long and bright red. Red is in, but only on closely cut nails, not long, witchy ones like Vidya‘s.
Does this girl know nothing?
I‘m surprised at her lack of knowledge about the most ordinary things. I don‘t think she even knows that a classic thing as a white t-shirt and jeans exists, and would have been a better option to say the least.
But then Vidya doesn‘t know a lot of things. She should thank God her first foray into Bollywood was ‘Parineeta‘, a movie where she was covered from head to toe in a Sari, the only garment that suits her.
The make-up was Indian, the garb was Indian -and Vidya was a hit. If you do look back at ‘Parineeta‘ - what was so great about her acting?
She acted like a behenji through out - and she has practice at that. She has been doing that all her life na?
The movies after ‘Parineeta‘ haven‘t been that great either.
There was Eklavya, where she looked fine because she dressed Indian and didn‘t have to speak much through the whole film. Then there was ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai‘, where the stylists made sure they covered her unshapely body up by giving her loose tops and skirts.
Then there was ‘Hey Baby‘, where the real dowdy Vidya Balan came to fore. She looked fat, tacky, trashy and every uncomplimentary adjective you can think of. And she looked like an aunty - someone who had been living under a rock for years and had just woken up.
I also don‘t understand another facet about Vidya.
When you exist in a world where people like Kareena rule the roost, why can‘t you put a little effort into what you are wearing?
Does she think the audience is so benevolent that they will ignore everything?
And what really gets us seething is the fact that she is so thick skinned. Arey, why are you insisting on making a fool out of yourself time and again?
If Govinda was a woman, he would dress like Vidya. And that, is not a compliment.
And now in ‘Kismat Konnection‘, where she truly looks like Shahid‘s mum, she is just too unbearable. And did you watch her at an award show wearing a golden ghagra with golden stones hanging down her neck. Yuckie.
We have never even understood the big hoo ha about her acting skills, because we really think she has none. If being coy and using those big eyes to express any moronic expression is acting, well, then, Vidya has it down pat.
Other than that, we don‘t notice anything special.
She doesn‘t have the charm of Rani, or the vivaciousness of Kareena. She is a horrible dresser and I think that gives us enough reason to diss on her.
We have discussed at length about what could make this actress look decent and have reached a unanimous decision - she needs to just wear Indian clothes. Because if she continues trying to act stylish, she‘s going to fall flat on her face!
But isn‘t she on the ground already?
You be the judge.

Who ever wrote this blog is really really mean!
This blog has been very harsh on vidya balan. she is a superb actress. she doesnt always do glamouress roles and thats good. she likes to experiment with her movies. whether her body is an issue, it obviously doesnt affect directors because se is getting loads of offers im sure. everyone has their own look. vidya is an example to younger girls, both for her style of acting and because of the films she picks. you cannot be so harsh on her just because she dresses slightly too gawdy. you cannot judge her like that. its not fair. | priyanka

With her looks and body(not to mention her boring personality), she‘s really suited for only behenji roles. She has absolutely no range, looks or talent-wise. | bheema

Ewwww
Dude, this is one of the best articles. I agree with you fully on everything. Vidya Balan is "Yuck". I‘m not a big fan of Kareena either, but Vidya is the ultimate "behenji" of Bollywood. Can‘t stand her. Chii | Amit Mehta

I think if you are in limelight you should take it seriously. Not many get the chance! Honestly, Vidya Balan does not take it seriously enough to make the effort. She has been lucky to get excellent films but to make it to the top she has to TRY carrying herself a bit better. There are excellent fashion designers in the industry, she can always exploit there talent. | Angel
